So, I've caught the bug. I've always wanted a 914. I'm forty, divorced. It's mid-life crisis time. I've scraped 5 grand together and I've been searching here, Samba etc. I'm looking for a weekend toy to take my girlfriend out, overnight trips to wine country etc. Downside is, I'm not mechanicallly inclined.
Question: Get what I can get for 5 grand and hope for the best? Keep scraping up $$$ and get something next summer that's a little better off. It just seems like when you are 914 shopping there's rust bucket rollers to show cars and everything in between. Prices from $1500 to $25,000. Can be a bit confusing at times.... |

Make sure you g/f is on board with the car first. Mine sure doesn't like to ride in it, and I know a few of the guys wifes don't like riding in them either. Find some members in your area and talk with them. Maybe get a ride to. For 5K right now, there were some pretty clean ones in the bay area i've seen.
